Does turning off auto brightness make your phone appear whiter? I know that may sound like a stupid question lol

Always leave auto brightness on and never had any issues. Very, very rarely adjust it in dark rooms but that’s about it.
I leave it off. I would use it if you could set a minimum brightness. Gets too dark sometimes. The only time I need to adjust it is in bright sunlight.
I've kept it on since it has learned the levels of brightness I use in different lighting situations. Works fine for me. I didn't know that the screen can be even brighter with it off, but haven't had a need for it.
Nah I just carry a light meter around all the time and adjust the lighting conditions inside or wait for clouds before I get my phone out of my pocket. [/joke]

I tried leaving auto-brightness on all day today since I was out in the sunlight a lot cutting firewood. I was impressed how it maxed out in full sun so I could see the screen clearly. I think it does learn your brightness patterns if you adjust it when necessary to your liking. Didn’t get too dark after I made the first low light adjustment to a level I prefer.
Not in high ambient lightning such as the outdoors. I disable auto brightness permanently so I can avoid the constant high brightness kick in direct sunlight To save battery life and save the panel from wearing out quicker.
